Elon Musk rage quits gaming livestream after players troll him relentlessly: ‘You ruined the country'
Musk went live as part of an 'airborne continuity test' for his Starlink satellite system as he recorded himself playing Path of Exile 2 on his private over the weekend.
The world's richest man, who often brags about his gaming prowess, faced a slew of taunts after he was defeated by the video game's first boss known as the Bloated Miller.
Musk remained stony-faced and largely speechless for about 90 minutes as he received a tirade of death threats, jabs at his appearance and slights over his government-slashing agenda through DOGE before he finally claimed he 'lost connection.'
'You have no real friends and will die alone,' wrote one gamer under the tag @Elon_is_a_pedophile.
'You ruined the country just like you ruined all your marriages,' added another gamer dubbed @Elon_Musk_is_pathetic.
Musk broke his silence when a gamer said he was 'dumb and ugly' and said his electric vehicle company Tesla was 'falling apart.'
'There are a lot of r*****s in this chat,' he said, using a slur he repeatedly posts on X.
At one point, Musk listened to So Heavy I Fell Through the Earth, the 2020 hit by his ex-partner and mother of three of his 13 children, Grimes.
'Elon, it's me,' one person wrote as the song faded out.
'Ashley St. Claire,' they added, claiming they were the influencer who in February revealed she had given birth to the world's richest man's latest child.
'I have no other means of contacting you so I bought PoE2 early access just for this. Please pay your child support. Thank you Elon,' they added.
Another repeatedly posted: 'I am your lost son, look at me, father Elon.'
After a final tirade of 'die, die, die,' Musk said: 'Oh, we lost connection.' His character was killed in the game and the stream was ended. The stream was later deleted from his X account before being uploaded to YouTube.
Back in the real world, Musk is embroiled in a feud with another of Donald Trump's advisers and close confidants: Peter Navarro.
The pair have exchanged blows over Trump's tariff policies that have roiled stock markets and disturbed investors after his 'Liberation Day' announcement last Wednesday.
On Monday, Navarro sought to dismiss Musk's opposition to heavy tariffs on Chinese goods by describing Tesla as a 'car assembler' reliant on foreign parts rather than a manufacturer even though Tesla vehicles use significant portions of American-made parts.
Responding on X, Musk said: 'Navarro is truly a moron. What he says here is demonstrably false.'
He later added that Tesla 'has the most American-made cars' of any automaker and described Navarro as 'dumber than a sack of bricks.'
When asked about the spat, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt downplayed their insults, and stated: 'Boys will be boys, and we will let their public sparring continue.'

Piers Morgan makes humbling Jake Paul climbdown ahead of potential Anthony Joshua fight
Piers Morgan has been outspoken with his views on Jake Paul's boxing career but the broadcaster has changed his tune amid speculation the YouTuber will fight Anthony Joshua next Piers Morgan has clarified a recent social media post where he claimed that Jake Paul 's boxing career to date had been 'boring staged b******' amid speculation the YouTuber turned boxer could soon fight Anthony Joshua. Paul, 28, initially found fame on YouTube but has won 12 fights since turning his hand to boxing in 2020. The American holds victories over boxing legends Mike Tyson and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr at heavyweight and cruiserweight respectively and has also beaten the former UFC star, Nate Diaz, in a boxing ring. Not everybody has been won over by Paul's performances in the ring, though, with Morgan taking aim at him recently. But following suggestions that Paul could be the next person to step into the ring with the former two-time world heavyweight champion, AJ, Morgan has changed his tune. The former Good Morning Britain host shared a social media post on Saturday where he stressed that his issue with Paul has been his bouts against athletes who are no longer at the peak of their powers; something which would not apply with AJ. 'I posted a few weeks ago that Jake Paul's boxing career has been 'boring staged bullsh*t,' Morgan wrote in a post on X. 'What I meant is that his fights have been predominantly against older, past-their-prime opponents, which may be lucrative for both sides, and may have entertainment value, but don't reveal how he stacks up against currently ranked boxers and therefore are not a good look for the sport. I did not intend to suggest that the outcome was predetermined and certainly didn't mean to suggest anything illegal. 'But if reports are correct that Jake is now in negotiations to fight Anthony Joshua, that would obviously be a seriously credible bout against one of the best heavyweights in the world. Jake is welcome to come on Uncensored to discuss this, and verbally slug it out with me, anytime.' While talk of a crossover bout between Paul and Joshua has been scoffed at in some quarters, AJ's long-time promoter, Eddie Hearn, recently admitted it could happen. 'This is very real,' he told The Ring. 'I had a good chat for about an hour with Nakisa on [July 30] and now I believe they want the fight. I really do. 'Nakisa was very honest and he's concerned about the fight, but Jake truly believes he can win the fight or at least be competitive in it. And now because of the size of the fight, it leads me to believe there's a very good chance it could happen. If I had to rate that chance I would say it's 50:50. It was a very positive conversation and we expect that conversation to extend over the coming weeks. If they really want it, it will happen.'

Love Island's Toni issues savage response to Harrison's 'bitter eye roll' during final
Love Island fans were enraged during the final when they suspected Harrison rolled his eyes at ex Toni and her partner Cach - and now the American bombshell has issued a response It's almost been a week since the Love Island final, but American bombshell Toni has finally issued a response to Harrison's 'salty' behaviour towards her huge revelation. It was a double whammy for Toni and Cach on Monday night. Not only did they take home the £50,000 prize fund, but Toni also revealed that Cach had told her he loved her the night before. As they shared the happy news with the audience, fans couldn't help but notice Harrison's 'salty' reaction as he sat in the crowd with his partner Lauren. It comes as Toni and Cach stormed to victory and won the series. Just before announcing the winner, host Maya Jama wanted all the gossip on how and when Cach dropped the L Bomb, but it seemed Harrison was far from interested. Lauren was seen looking at Harrison, and both of them gave an awkward reaction, fans claimed. The camera then panned back to them seconds later and once again the same thing happened. Some viewers were suggesting Harrison and Lauren were "bitter" or "salty" about it given the drama on the show, with Harrison looking like he was smirking. However, others thought it may just be the awkwardness of the camera on them. It looks like the reaction didn't go amiss for Toni as she and Cach spoke to Dean Mccullough on BBC Radio 1. Asking whether they'd seen Harrison "eye roll" while Maya was speaking to them during the final, the pair confirmed that they had. "What are your thoughts? Cach, you look confused," Dean said as he explained that Harrison 'rolled his eyes' when Cach said he loved Toni. Toni didn't hold back as she questioned: "Was he being bitter? Be better not bitter!" Fans were in stiches at the bombshell's response, as one wrote: "Toni's voice is so funny. i love the vindication she's living through rn," as another penned: "Toni and her one liners lol." "Toni and Cach catching every little detail like hawks!" exclaimed a third fan. Toni and Harrison struck up an instant connection when he took her on a date as soon as he entered the villa. However, it appeared the 'Yung Bull' had wondering eyes, as he proceeded to get to know, and share a couple of kisses, with Helena. When Casa Amor came around, Harrison found a connection with Lauren, while Toni got to know Cach. However, it seemed like they couldn't stay away from each other in villa, and despite being intimate with Lauren, Harrison persuaded Toni to couple up with him. The move left both Cach and Lauren in tears, and things went downhill for the couple when Toni found out Harrison and Lauren had been intimate together. Lauren was then dumped from the villa when new bombshell Angel arrived - with Harrison deciding to leave with her.

Prime Video fans have just days to watch 'one of the best teen dramas ever'
One of the most iconic teen dramas is about to be removed from Prime Video. Prime Video fans have just days to watch "one of the best teen dramas ever". Created by Kevin Williamson, Dawson's Creek centred around the lives of a close-knit group of friends in the fictional town of Capeside, Massachusetts. The series, which began in high school and continued into college, starred James Van Der Beek as Dawson Leery and Katie Holmes as his best friend and love interest, Joey Potter. Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams also appeared as Pacey Witter and Jen Lindley, respectively. Across its six-season run from 1998 to 2003, Dawson's Creek dealt with several hard-hitting topics such as death, homophobia, class differences, heartbreak, mental health and divorce. It also paved the way for a wave of hit American teen dramas, including One Tree Hill, The OC, Gilmore Girls and 90210. However, Prime Video viewers haven't got long to binge the iconic series, as it is set to leave the streaming platform on Wednesday (August 13). Over 20 years on from its ending, and Dawson's Creek fans are still in love with the show, with many taking to social media to share their praise. "I love Dawson's Creek from beginning to end. It's my favourite guilty pleasure drama series of all time," one person wrote on IMDb. Another added: "One of the best shows ever from American television. It's an amazing TV drama that always surprises me." A third said: "This show is absolutely timeless. It takes you back to your teens where it seemed like anything was possible. Give it a try if you want to be possibly transported back to another time of your life and most likely your youth." A fourth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: "Dawson's Creek is the show that made me watch TV again. There isn't a better show on TV." Another similarly shared: "Dawson's Creek is my favourite American teenage drama. It has been replicated but can never be matched." The news comes after Dawson's Creek fans were recently left excited when former co-stars Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson reunited on the set of a new project. Their characters, Pacey and Joey, notably had an on-off relationship throughout the noughties classic, before ultimately ending up together. The pair are now set to play on-screen lovers in a romantic trilogy titled Happy Hours, which has begun filming in New York City. As well as starring in the films, Katie is also writing and directing, with Dawson's Creek fans eagerly awaiting their release.
